Why Is Bill Cosby Unethical

Bill Cosby has been the subject of much controversy and concern due to serious allegations that have been brought to light from his past actions. For decades his has discussed topics to the younger generations as he has cast himself as an all-American dad and grandfather expressing morals and how a family man should act and conduct himself. His persona made him the most beloved family man on national television. On Wednesday, Fox News shared another story that his lies over the years, has made Walt Disney World take action by removing the bronze statue of his likeness from the Hollywood Studios theme park in Florida.
The removal of the Bill Cosby statue is just one stepping stone in the list of bad news involving this celebrated comedian. It has come to light through reports from over two dozen women that he assaulted them. He admitted contributing false responses and denials to serious allegations when questioned about them. While he continually voiced his opinion by brushing the allegations under the rug, taking the assault on his character lightly there is now proof that his actions weren’t pure or morally proper when it came to young women he once worked with.
Legal documents have been unsealed by U.S. District Judge Eduardo Robreno in Philadelphia.
In those decade-old court documents that were obtained from a civil lawsuit against Bill Cosby they included a sworn deposition stating that he indeed obtained Quaaludes, which is a sedative and hypnotic drug that he knowingly had intentions of giving them to young women that he wanted to have sexual relations with without their knowledge or consent. Judge Robreno claims that what was in those documents is serious, improper, possibly criminal and although the media has a significant interest in these matters the public also has a right to know of his conduct, misgivings and actions he has been denying for so long were in fact true and improper.
Cosby has never been criminally charged with any sexual assault or providing drugs unbeknownst to those who he chose to have relations with ever. Currently at least thirty women have come forward bringing awareness to his overshadowed image about what happened to them and to shed some light on the truth of his character which isn’t the same as the one he has portrayed and had the world to believe in about him. Three women who have accused him have already filed a defamation lawsuit against him. His team of attorneys are trying everything to quash these latest lawsuits and still issuing denials as to the allegations at hand.
Many other corporations are following suit and pulling away due to the serious backlash scandalous allegations that are being said against this legendary television icon. The Bill Cosby statue was removed; Bounce TV pulled all the “Cosby Show” reruns from their schedule, a Washington, D.C. restaurant had a large mural of Bill Cosby displayed which has now been taken down, TV Land also removed reruns of the show from their schedule and Netflix has shelved plans for their Cosby standup special they were planning to air. A new Cosby sitcom show was in going to be produced through NBC who has changed their mind about the show due to the allegations and how they have seriously affected his career. BET, another cable network that focuses on black women has also dropped “The Cosby Show”.
Bill Cosby gave himself, millions of dollars in donations and advice to many people, organizations and schools along the years.
These acts, as heroic and moral as they were at the time isn’t stacking up against the shameful behavior and acts he has been accused of in his past. He has aggressively done everything in his power to protect his character and public image, and it looks like his luck has run out. This past December is proof that he can’t keep up his all-American image any longer because he willingly or unwillingly resigned from the board of trustees at Temple in Philadelphia. He was the face of the school and participated in many advertisements, fundraising campaigns and commencement speeches that will no longer be part of the school as a result of the stark persona he has hidden for so
long.
